Description

The research aims to identify and quantify the compounds responsible for odour harassment in complex odorous mixtures of varying nature and complexity. Instrumental analytical techniques will be applied, with a particular focus on the separation and detection of volatile organic compounds. The work will involve sampling of odorous emission and/or sample preparation in the laboratory, followed by chemical analysis using either field or laboratory instruments. The results will be interpreted in relation to the composition of the mixture and the potential odour-contributing capacity of the individual compounds.
